And he's been taking notes.

The Articles

"Stripped to its very esssence, history is biography," Dave maintained many years ago as a military historian. That approach, which led to numerous accolades while he was in uniform, has infused his writings ever since.

From history to political philosophy, whether its today's headlines, tales from the road or accounts from a war zone, Dave will draw you in, making the difficult both understandable and compelling.

Whether interviewing best selling authors, a Hollywood producer, leading pundits, fellow veterans, a Special Forces officer, a business management consultant or a professional comedian, Dave Carter brings out the person behind the credentials.

What begins as an interview invariably ends as an enjoyable conversation between friends, leaving the listener with a knowing smile and ideas to ponder.

The Inkwell

Many years ago, columnist and economist Walter Williams advised Dave to live life first, and then draw on that experience to bring the written word to life.

Dave took Dr. Williams' advice, which resulted in an abundance of experience and notable perspectives that inform and entertain an audience. The Inkwell is Dave at his thoughtful, humorous and irascible best.

In 1967, the Saturday Evening Club took it over, rechristening it The Alternative: An American Spectator, but by November 1977 the word “alternative” had acquired such an esoteric fragrance that in order to discourage unsolicited manuscripts from florists, beauticians, and other creative types, the club reverted to the magazine’s original name.
